    The only person i know who has them and thats only the mini mambas are the canyon runner crew.. if you call adam he wuill hook you up with anything you need.

    As far as i know and someone might want to correct me but the old owner of big t went in a different path and i believe got into the real estate industry and left lure making.. Now i dont know where they are being made but i think they are still in production in South Africa by somone else who bought it out..

    I will try to find some more info and let yo know!

    I was partnered up with them for years... Beautiful product. I had them building some of my product and distributed some of their designs. Had a falling out with them over selling product to my customers through the back door but still try to keep tabs where product is.
    What model lures are you looking for. They sold some of my designs under their name and its possible that some of my clients have some under a different name again.
    There is a shop in Florida that gets some of their product private labled and another distributor down there that gets other models.
    Let me know and I can track down product for you...

    Thats their site but trying to find a retailer here is about tough as nails. Yes they have a distributor and are pretty big in Bermuda, Australia, New Zeland, Mauritus, even Europe... I was the distributor for Southern US, some of the North east, then various pockets around the planet that wornt covered. There was a distributor and a "jobber" in the north east. The jobber basically retails at shows any more. The big distributor folded up shop.
    I even closed the door but still keep tabs where certain product is...

    David Horn bought the buisness from Tinker and is still operating out of Plentyburg ,South Africa. He's very accomadating and usually ships w/ in a month or so. The lures are still very affordable, although the shirts have gone up recently w/ the price of oil/ euro..... He can be reached through the email or phone # on the site....

    The guy in Florida was John with Gypsy Lures. I still have about 12-15 of the 7oz. wahoo bullets. Made a great product. Skirts got a little sticky sometimes, but the overall quality and prices are nice. I still have about 200 or so various lures from T, What are you looking for?

    John actually was using another brand... He only had one small load of Big T, gone long ago... The rest of his gypsy lures came from another guy in Capetown, Citer Lures... Not nearly the quality of big t product but affordable and not too bad... The sticky skirt thing is what happens when certain plastic compounds in air react with other compounds in stored plastic. I distributed Soft Head (mold craft) product for a while. I had to open a seperate storage room because it was getting sticky in the room where my own product was stored...

    My bad. Thanks Deep for keeping me straight. Bought a bunch off stuff from John while back and Big T came up on a few occasions. I called to double check the stuff I have in storage and it's from Citer.

    Not an issue at all... Citer makes some nice syuff... I considered their services when it came timme to part with Big T but we never could come to terms...
    Currently I'm so busy with all these boats that I really am not in a position to fire up my old lure business but always happy to help new and upcomming ones...
